Advocates for books that matter.

Thomas Rogers

“It is the extra dimension of comic-rhapsodic gladness that may turn Jerry Engels into a classic.” —James Parker,New York Times Book Review

“Rogers has packed Jerry’s innocence into his college trunk and sent it off to Penn State.” —New York Review of Books

“That [Tom Rogers] is America’s Evelyn Waugh is one of the country’s best kept secrets.” —Philip Roth

“If I had a class in American Adolescence, I’d teach At the Shores in tandem with The Catcher in the Rye and Growing Up Absurd. This meticulously perceived and modest novel about growing up in America anything but absurd is probably closer to more lives than we might suspect. It does wonders for one’s sense of reality.”– Philip Roth
